...real twist in the fairy tale is that the emphasis has been snatched from the damsel and invested in Prince Charming instead. Doubtless, as one can tell from the promotional blitz, the producers must have meant to market Cook aggressively at one point. However, once the camera alighted on Prime, seen previously in both installments of that I Know...Summer series, they simply had to surrender the film to him. He is a magnet in front of the camera. In comparison, Laney Boggs is a mere prop to his masculine narrative. In both screen time and plot weight, Prinze...
...while America has rolled around in dance clubs and hip-hop has taken the political torch, folk music has somehow maintained a high energy, doubtless made possible by clubs like Passim.

That motion will doubtless fail, as will any other attempt at providing a censure option for the representatives. Once debate is concluded, the four articles will come to a vote...
...Clinton's trip represented a terrific loss. And so, in a fruitless two-hour meeting with Clinton and Yasser Arafat Tuesday morning, Netanyahu reiterated that there would be no more troop withdrawals unless the Palestinians made further concessions. Arafat left the meeting early and without comment -- though he was doubtless smiling inside...
